This is a new thread for anyone that has applied to the Mount St. Mary's College Accelerated BSN program in Los Angeles for Summer 2014 entry. This is my first application for admission to MSMC ABSN program; though, I was accepted for admission to ...

@Dreamer2291-- I have one class (anatomy) in progress, but I am literally done with the class tomorrow. I made sure to mention that during my interview, and I was told that having a class(s) in progress would not affect my admission but I won't know ...

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who got accepted. I am so nervous to check...so I won't until tomorrow. Once I am done with my last prereq! ;)

Good luck Daffodilrobot....

Good luck Annie753

@SunshineDaisy-- Congrats. Isn't that funny how things work out? Also, are you a new RN grad nurse with a BSN? If so, how long did it take you to establish employment? How long after you graduated did you take your NCLEX? Best, Berry

@Dreamer2291-- My personal statement was about 2 pages, single spaced. I had to revise it a bit when I went from ADN to ABSN. It was very similar, though. I just added a paragraph. Good luck, Berry

@hdkim-- I have a few questions about the ABSN program. Would you mind emailing me at [email protected] as I would love to hear from previous students. I would appreciate any help, Berry

@daffodilrobot-- Thanks for the update. I wish you the best. Best, Berry

@absnb-- I believe they are still conducting interviews next week. I would imagine that decisions for acceptance will be mailed out by early February. Though, I think they post their decision on WebAdvisor which may come soon than the letter. Good l...

Good luck!!

@Aleks1281-- Thanks for the update. My interview was today and I have to agree, the staff were all very nice. My interview was short and to the point. Nothing out of the ordinary; though, I did ask if having a class in progress would disqualify me fr...

xjblee88x-- Thanks for your post. I have a few questions about the program; do you think your friend would be amenable to speak with me? I am interested in finding out how he/she enjoyed the program and what to expect from the program--once admitted....

@xjblee88x-- Seems that nothing is ever done in a uniform fashion. However, it looks like they have started calling prospective students for interviews this week and next; which is sooner than last year's cohort Kindest regards, Berry

@tmogirl010-- I think having this thread allows us to communicate our questions and concerns....so I hope it makes the waiting process a bit more manageable. I received an email to interview this week; Thursday at 1:00 p.m. is the big day! Wish me lu...

@daffodilrobot-- I also only missed it by a few I wonder if we will be able to see which questions we missed before we retake the test??? I am really perplexed with this whole admissions process as I was under the impression that the interview pr...

I also only missed it by a few

Dreamer2291-- Good luck with your endeavors for the ABSN program. I am almost positive that you will not be required to resubmit additional letters as they should carry over. I had to resubmit new letters because I originally applied to the ADN progr...

All— Thank you for those who responded. Seems that many past nursing students did terrible on the math exam (after they had been accepted) and so they decided to invite potential candidates to take the exam prior to interviews. That makes sense, but ...

Hi TwineeJoy— Thank you for responding. Seems that many past nursing students did terrible on the math exam (after they had been accepted) and so they decided to invite potential candidates to take the exam prior to interviews. That makes sense, but ...

I was under the impression that invitations for the math test were only sent to students who successfully passed the interview. I am scheduling my exam for this coming Friday. Have you studied yet? It's not difficult at all...but the passing requirem...
